I seriously wondered if crack was a fertility drug

Totally agree! It kills me to see women that are fortunate enough to get pregnant and then totally mistreat their bodies. Or talk about how much their life will suck and they can't have fun anymore etc. This really strikes a nerve with me......

Lol.. I was just whining today about realizing I can't have any raw cookie dough anymore ... with the holidays and baking season coming up,
I love licking the spoons after I take care of all the cookies

If you want to eat raw cookie dough, just use liquid eggs that come in a carton. They are pasteurized - no issues.

This is so true. People tend to disguise their prejudice with "concern".

However, in my opinion, if they were truly concerned they would be concerned for all those eating unhealthily not just those who they assume are because of their weight.

Furthermore I believe that one should try to remain healthy and take off extra pounds when considering pregnancy due to the strain pregnancy may take on the body. However, if the dr says it's a go ahead and one feels they can do it...that's good enough!

The I am fat and proud movement forgets the health aspect sometimes.

Wow, ummm... maybe there is some overcompensation with the pride because when you are overweight everything around you tells you its something to be ashamed of.. from supermodel advertisements to finding clothes that actually fit you right etc...
But you know what? I'm overweight, so are my parents, and we're all HEALTHY. I don't eat McDonald's every day, no, I don't run marathons...
but my blood pressure, cholesterol etc are all terrific and even better than some of my skinny friends.

There are plenty of health conditions that are not visible. There are skinny people with serious cholesterol problems, but nobody glares at them when they buy a hamburger and fries.

Just because you're fat doesn't automatically mean you are unhealthy. Just because you are skinny or at a 'healthy' weight doesn't mean you are healthy.

Its the automatic labeling that gets to me, sorry.

I agree. One of the things I have liked about this board thus far is that it seems to be troll free. I think it's set up so that everyone has their proper place. Everyone can support those in similar situations and stay away (if necessary) from those who may be apart of something different.

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING!! What world or box do you live in? Techinally the WORLD is overweight and even being "skinny" is dangerous and unhealthy. I would rather have meat than bones ANYDAY!!! For you to make a statement like that on this board is out of line in my eyes. You are the first person I have come across who is rude and uncaring, being that you made a comment to a board of ladies who are comparing notes and things. You can be 5 lbs overweight and be "fat" right? In comparison to you I would rather be fat than miserable!

PS- Wheres your SKINNY picture?

too funny! I agree, this is the first and only person I came across who has upset me on this website!

Okay so finally--lol--- I am considerably overweight. I have just started trying to lose again while I try to conceive. My dr gave me okay. All my tests are good. Hubby loves it! lol We are going for it! However, I am still concerned about STAYING healthy because I AM HEALTHY thank God. So I continue to eat well and try not to snack too much. Alsolots and lots of activity! We should continue to support one another.

Baby wishes to everyone.

hi - I have been trying to conceive since last August.

I was 15st and managed to conceive in September 09 but miscarried at 7 weeks

since then have been on the rollercoaster that is post miscarriage and TTC.

I have put on over 2st in weigth and was at my wits end.

not sure what has changed but we are still trying and this month I feel more positive the whole process - whilst I am hoping we will get there i am pretty sure my weight is playing a part in not being able to conceive.

my cycle is on a more even keel - approx 42 days is there anyone out there that has manage to conceive and carry to term when so overweight?

There are definitely women who have concieved and carried to term when overweight. There's even a big momma's group... there's a plus-size bump thread too.. lots of women out there!

Hi all!
What a thread!
Well I too am overweight/obese. My bmi is 39.
In the last year I've lost 70lbs, and I want to keep it up and lose more.
I've stopped my birth control pill since December 2009, but have only had 4 cycles so far. It's so frustrating.
My DH is wonderful - he keeps telling me that it'll happen when it happens and not to stress. Wish it was that easy!
I look back at when I was 70lbs heavier, and can't believe I was happy before.
I'm so much happier and confident now.
I'm loving TTC, but just hope that my cycles become more regular soon so I can be preggo too!
I think all of us will make great mums/moms - regardless of how big/small we are!
It's not our size that makes us - it's the person inside. And if we are wonderful people, our kids will be too!
Baby dust for us all ttc!
Milly xx

P.S. Also loving the ticker - preggo by christmas! Fingers-crossed for us all xx

Wow! Hello! I just spent a while browsing through this thread! I am classed as obese according to the BMI scale, not totally sure what it is because my weight goes up and down, possibly around 33. I conceived my son within 3 months of NTNP and I am in my first month TTC # 2, I'm a bit heavier this time. Anyone can be healthy, regardless of how little or how much they weigh. People just love to stereotype dont they?
Hope those TTC get their BFP's soon !
